‘Yaki’ means grilled, while onigiri means ‘rice ball’. I love this very simple recipe of yaki onigiri. It is clean, dense, filling and lovely as a meal. The crisp and browned sides of the onigiri makes them look very tempting and inviting to eat even though it’s just rice and nothing else. If desired, you can also plump it up and press the rice together with some savoury ingredients such as tuna, salmon, corn, cheese slices, sesame seeds, roasted seaweeds etc. They can be smoked or canned or boiled. Very flexible, accommodating and easy to make.
